    Understanding Double Slit Interference in Electron Diffraction

    Point taken. I'll just do some additional reading before posing a question in my own thread. Thanks for the answers. By the way, the experiment was done by Humphrey Maris, professor of physics at Brown University. Published Aug. 1, 2000 in the Journal of Low Temperature Physics.

    Understanding Double Slit Interference in Electron Diffraction

    Thank you. I understand this much, as it is seems to abide by common sense. I was active duty USMC for 8 years (and still am IRR – being deployed again in two months to Afghanistan [enlisted, BTW – not an officer]) and understand very much about spraying things with bullets :wink: ). What...

    Sorry it didn't help. :( I can suggest that you email the professor to ask for an example syllabus. I've found that to be helpful at times for planning. Most likely, they will be of service and it will show them that you are assertive. I've taken many philo classes, and most Calc as a...

    Understanding Double Slit Interference in Electron Diffraction

    I suppose this forum would be more helpful if those who portend to know about QM would at least entertain the questions/thoughts of those who admittedly do not, based on some type of intelligent inference as to the scope of the initial questions. When mere questions of curiosity and highly...

    Understanding Double Slit Interference in Electron Diffraction

    'Fundemental' is the wrong spelling of fundamental. It would be proper to say, "Your conjecture is neither feasible nor necessary; I am oblivious and unavailing." Either way, thanks for the very enlightening response. :rolleyes:

    Uncertainty principle and vacuum fluctuations

    Are there any known way for virtual particles arising from quantum foam to gain existence/mass from the Higgs field?

    Understanding Double Slit Interference in Electron Diffraction

    Eh? I seem to understand what's going on with the slit experiment, although what was the purpose of that machine gun example? Is the electron gun alway swung around drunkenly like that? :rofl: I'm thinking that was just some type of transitional illustration to get people ready for the wave...
